The Words you hear, the images you see, the sounds you are subjected too all have lasting effect on you. The words you use, the imaginations you entertain and the emotions you experience are all informed by your surroundings. This reality is undeniable evident in children, often overlooked in teen years and discounted if not disputed by adulthood. Don’t underestimate the influence of outside forces, some of which are not so benevolent and their influence through music, movies and other tools of media.

Everyone faces tragedy in life. Most people also experience triumph at some point or another. As leaders there is significant value of influence resting in the stories behind those experiences. Your story could save a life. Your smile could save a life. You willingness and ability to share your experiences and the way you were able to overcome tragedy could be the fine line between someone else’s success or giving up.

Do you perform a service no one else will do? Do you perform a service millions of others do, but better than any of them? Do you offer a unique product or a unique spin on an average product. Do you offer one on one services or only what appeals to the masses? HOW WILL YOU STAND OUT?

Internal conflict, wars, rage, frustration even the culture of discord and drama which plagued many organizations has the same origin. Did you know that? The cars of global conflict and marital strife are the same? “NO WAY!” You say! WAY!!! WAY, INDEED!! The ancient letter from a guy named James tells us the truth. “We all fight for what we don’t really want rather than wait for what It is we need.”

You can start with shiny wheels and fresh paint to make it look great from the outside, but if you don’t pay attention to the moving parts deep on the inside, you may find yourself stranded in the middle of nowhere in a beautiful mess. Look deep inside yourself and take care of your heart, your soul, your issues before making the world believe you have a “pretty marriage.”

CONFIDENCE COMES FROM WISDOM – CONFIDENCE IS THE POWER TO TAKE ACTION

CONFIDENCE IS THE POWER TO TAKE ACTION

When you fear failure and fail to act as a result, everyone who needed your action suffers. When a police officer or fire fighter or soldier is trained to respond to a crisis but fears taking action, lives are at stake. Your career may be different but your confidence to act is just as important to those you serve and those who follow or count on you.

HEY LEADER, WHAT IS THE TRUTH YOU HIDE?

WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF YOU TOLD THE WHOLE TRUTH?

If you were completely honest about your feelings and internal thoughts how would you fit in society? Have you ever entertained a thought which if verbalized you would be ashamed to say in public? Have you ever said something under your breath which you would feel obligated to apologize for if someone heard you?

GREAT LEADERS OWN THEIR FAULTS – LISTEN TO YOURSELF AND TRANSFORM FROM THE INSIDE.
